If buying leather furniture for home was not enough, the trouble of keeping it clean can be something that can give you nightmare. I have seen so many people getting frustrated after bringing leather furniture to their home simply because they are unable to maintain its cleanliness.

This is the reason why I am writing this post, in which I am going to talk about some of the simple and easy tips of cleaning the leather furniture at home. So, let us take a look at what those tips are –

1. Vacuum cleaning

The first step in cleaning furniture made of leather is simple, just like any other furniture — make use of the good old dry cleaner. It is a great idea to have a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment so that it can reach to the nooks and corners where you cannot otherwise go. The dry cleaner is going to take care of all the dry debris that might be lying around on the sofa, and could penetrate deep into the corners to damage it.

2. Vinegar and water

Another simple trick you can try at home to clean the furniture leather is to mix equal amounts of water and vinegar thoroughly. Dip a soft cloth in the solution thus made, wring the cloth and wipe the sofa or other furniture accessory that you have at home. You can even get some commercial leather cleaning solutions from the market as well, to use on the furniture. Once wipe cleaned, don’t forget to use a dry towel or cloth to wipe off the dampness of the solution.

3. Water and rubbing alcohol

And in case you are worried about the growing spores of mild and mildew within the leather furniture, you don’t need to panic. Just grab your bottle of rubbing alcohol, mix equal amount of water and the alcohol and clean the area which you feel is infected. This can prove to be the simplest and easiest way to get rid of the most complex problem that might be lurking around your bespoke furniture, be it in Singapore, Sydney or somewhere else.

You can choose to hire commercial cleaners for the same, but why waste so much money when you can take care of the regular cleaning on your own? Try these simple tips out and see how they work for you. After all, these tips are too easy for you to try!
